For two teams slowly descending down the Eastern Conference ladder, it makes sense the Milwaukee Bucks and Charlotte Hornets would explore a few trades as the Feb. 23 deadline approaches.

The Bucks have lost nine of their last 10 games to slide to 10th place in the conference standings, while the Hornets have slipped to No. 8 after dropping 12 of their last 16 contests.

According to ESPN’s Marc Stein and Brian Windhorst, the two teams will try to shake off the doldrums with a lateral move involving a few mediocre bigs. Milwaukee has agreed in principle to send Miles Plumlee to Charlotte in exchange for Roy Hibbert and Spencer Hawes.

As reported by The Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Bucks will release Steve Novak to clear out the necessary roster spot. According to The Vertical’s Shams Charania, the Hornets will sign Mike Tobey of their D-League affiliate, the Greensboro Swarm, to a 10-day contract.

As always, the question now is which team will come out on top once this frontcourt swap goes through? To make sense of the latest deal, here are some NBA Trade Grades.
